Picked up a few VHS Ex - Rental tapes I got the 1986 comedy Separate Vacations with David Naughton and Jennifer Dale and two Guild Home Video releases (which was a popular distributor here in the U.K with some great releases back in the day) which were Past Midnight with Rutger Hauer and the late Natasha Richardson and lastly the 1989 Rom Com Happy Together with Patrick Dempsey and Helen Slater.

And on Blu Ray I picked up Marathon Man and the 1979 sci-fi adventure Time After Time with Malcolm McDowell which I have never seen before but have read pretty decent reviews on so just hoping it's a good watch plus also two Scream Factory titles which were Tobe Hooper's Invaders From Mars from 1986 and Timebomb with Michael Biehn and Patsy Kensit from 1991.

Picked up a couple of VHS one that I have never seen before and also a couple of Blu Ray's plus some Mini Twiglets (yummy!),on tape I got Skin Deep from Blake Edwards which I have seen way back and believe I enjoyed it and a 1988 Lou Diamond Philips movie Dakota which is a blind buy but it was going so cheap I thought i'd give it a go and if I don't like it it's no big loss!

On Blu Ray I raided the 101 Films sale again and grabbed The Playboys which I have watched a couple of times before and I do enjoy it,I like the setting,story and the cast it's a good film plus also from a sale I picked up the WW2 war classic The Great Escape which I love but strangely have never owned!

I watched The Playboys a few months ago. I stumbled upon it. I think it was on one of those tv stations which plays a lot of indie movies. It was worth a watch. I have not heard of Dakota. Will have to look for it. Thanks for sharing.

Picked up a few cheap VHS of eBay 2 of which I have seen way back Boulevard with Lou Diamond Philips,Lance Henriksen and Rae Dawn Chong plus the 1987 horror the Kindred starring Rod Steiger,Talia Balsam,Julia Montgomery (Revenge Of The Nerd's) and Amanda Pays who I remember well from Oxford Blues and then lastly a blind buy the little known 1989 comedy Options featuring Matt Salinger (Captain America),Joanna Pacula and in small cameos James Keach,Susan Anton and Eric Roberts.

Picked up a couple of DVD's the 1988 horror Deadly Dreams from Code Red DVD which I watched a while back and didn't dislike I thought it was pretty well done with the odd unexpected twist here and there though the whole is he or isn't he dreaming plotline did tend to annoy at times so not entirely perfect!

Bats I also have seen but way back and remember very little from it other than it stars Lou Diamond Philips and in all truth I'm not expecting too much from it but it was cheap and I thought what the heck i'll give it a go it's probably worth a watch and perhaps a few unintentional laughs!

Also grabbed four VHS which have never been released to Blu Ray or DVD three of which were blind buys and they were A Bear Named Arthur an early 90s comedy from Italian director Sergio Martino and the late 80s Cannon Films comedy Surrender starring Michael Caine,Sally Field and Steve Guttenberg (this one I have seen but way back upon its release) also on VHS I got

-

Low budget Action shenanigans in Da Vinci's War with Joey Travolta,Vanity and Michael Nouri and the 1986 Baboon horror In The Shadows Of Kilimanjaro starring Timothy Bottom's,John Rhys Davies and Irene Miracle.

A few more relatively cheap eBay VHS pick ups and they are the Cannon Pictures WW2 war flick Hanna's War starring Ellen Burstyn, Donald Pleasance and David Warner,Death Of A Soldier with Reb Brown and James Coburn which is also set during WW2 but concentrates on the true life case of serial killer Edward Leonski a US private who was convicted of murdering 3 local women whilst stationed in Melbourne Australia and then lastly we have the revenge thriller No Safe Haven starring Wings Hauser and the late Robert Tessier who are both on the trail of a drug cartel who have wiped out all of Hauser's family!
